“…The prevalence rate of BOS in this study was similar to a study conducted among resident physicians in Greece, in which 14.4% of residents met the criteria for BOS [28]. Moreover, a cross-sectional survey in Tunisia concluded that 17.14% of resident physicians had a high level of BOS [33]. Another study in Syria reported a 19.3% prevalence rate of burnout syndrome among resident physicians [40].…”

Background Resident physicians in Sudan face a variety of physical and psychological stressors. Nevertheless, the prevalence of burnout syndrome among this critical population remains unknown. The purpose of this study was to estimate the prevalence rate of burnout and its associated factors in a sample of resident physicians in Sudan. Methods A cross-sectional design was used to assess the burnout syndrome among resident physicians at the teaching hospitals of Wad-Medani in Gezira state, east-central Sudan. Three hundred resident physicians at the dermatology, general surgery, pediatrics, obstetrics and gynecology, psychiatry, ear, nose and throat (ENT), oncology, urology, and internal medicine departments, were approached and invited to participate in the study. The Arabic version of the Maslach Burnout Inventory was distributed to respondents from July to October 2021. Results From the 300 resident physicians, 208 (69.3%) responded. The average age of the study population was 29.99 ± 3.01 years, with more than half were females (56.7%), single (59.6%), and with more than three years of residency experience (50.5%). In total, 86.1% met the criteria for burnout in at least one dimension and 13.9% in all three dimensions. On the dimension of emotional exhaustion (EE), 70.7% reported high levels of burnout. While, 44.2% reported high levels of depersonalization (DP), and 73.1% experienced a sense of decreased professional accomplishment (PA). There were significant differences in burnout, EE, and DP levels among different specialties, with the pediatrics-specialty trainees reported higher levels. Burnout syndrome was associated with the working hours per single duty; participants who reported working for more than 24 hours had experienced higher levels of burnout, EE, and DP. Conclusion Large-scale studies are required to assess the determinants of burnout syndrome among resident physicians in Sudan. In addition, Stakeholders should urgently implement effective remedies to protect the mental health of resident physicians.

BackgroundResident physicians in Sudan suffer multiple physical and psychological stressors. Nevertheless, the prevalence of burnout among this critical population remains unknown. The purpose of this study was to estimate the prevalence of burnout and its related factors in a sample of Sudanese resident physicians.MethodsA cross-sectional design was used to assess burnout among resident physicians at the teaching hospitals of Wad-Medani, Gezira state in Sudan. All resident physicians across nine hospitals were asked to join the study. The Arabic version of Maslach Burnout Inventory was distributed to respondents from July to October 2021.ResultsOut of 300 resident physicians 69.3% responded. The study population had a mean age of 29.99 ± 3.01 years, more than half were females (56.7%) and single (59.6%). In total, 86.1% met the criteria for burnout in at least one dimension, and 13.9 % in all three dimensions.70.7% suffer from a high level of burnout on the dimension of emotional exhaustion (EE), while 44.2% reported a high level on depersonalization (DP) and 73.1% experienced a sense of decreased professional accomplishment (PA). There were significant differences in the levels of burnout, EE and DP among different specialties. Burnout syndrome was associated with working hours per single duty; with participants working for more than 24 hours had experienced higher levels of burnout, EE and DP.ConclusionsHigh prevalence of burnout syndrome was found in this sample of resident physicians in Sudan. Stakeholders should urgently implement effective remedies to protect the mental health of resident physicians.
